The second post is more relivant. The user describes in detail how to get X10 remote working using HID device method (no blacklisting) with arch rpi. I have it working with OpenElec it uses (devinput) just had to add the context menu key with a Lircmap.xml file. Could we use this as a template to get the Snapstream Firefly working again with Linhes R8.3?

If you can get it working I would be happy to update the LinHES templates. I don't have the remote so investigating where the issue is difficult to say the least. I think jams has the remote but real life has kept him busy lately.

Many of the specific methods (like the lirc.service file; we don't use systemd for starting services) in the link won't apply to LinHES because it is not how we start lirc. But things like the lirc command and driver and lircd.conf should help.

I would suggest for you to try to get it working in LinHES that you first set no remote in LinHES Settings > Remotes and then reboot to make sure the blacklist of the various ati modules is gone. Use lsmod and check /etc/modprobe.d/ Then find the usb ID of the Firefly as stated in the article. You will also need to find a lircd.conf that works with devinput. It looks like the one linked in the article was removed from lirc in 0.9.2. There is probably a replacement somewhere but you will have to search. Put that lircd.conf in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d. With with the usb device and a lircd.conf in place then you can run the lircd cmd. Something like this but with your exact usb id:
